This is one of those products that I really find to be complete bull. It’s supposed to be an exercise ball chair. If you’ve ever had to use an exercise ball, you probably know why I think it’s bull. Well that is, if you’ve ever been told what exercises to do on an exercise ball. Basically the reason an exercise ball is beneficial is that you have to use your core muscles to balance on the ball. Therefore your posture gets a plus and all around you just get tighter abs. Now this ball advertises the same thing. However, I find it hard to believe that when the chair is on legs.
Since the chair has legs there is no effort to balance, yes you’ll have better posture, but only if you regulate it yourself. The chair has nothing really that will help with that. It could have made a cool chair to sit at your desk, just every now and then. Yet since it’s highly doubtful that this will be effective, you might just want to buy a regular exercise ball to sit at your desk. Which oddly I have seen done before, but you’d definitely have to be determined to do it. You can pick up the exercise ball chair for $249.95.
